I am considering this option in my life: the ability for people to pay me money, in return for my opinions and understandings. I believe this is part of the attention economy and the information and data economy, where engagement must be reciprocal and mutually beneficial. It seems that my attention and understanding are not yet widely sought after, so it makes sense to implement this.

With all the "AI Experts" I keep hearing about in Trinidad and Tobago, I can't see how they miss how AI ties so much derived from the information economy together.

There’s a lot of noise about artificial intelligence these days, and in the latest round of headlines, it seems Trinidad and Tobago has joined the global chorus. President Christine Kangaloo recently called for urgent legislation around AI, and CyberSafeTT backed that call with pointed reminders about Trinidad and Tobago's outdated cybercrime laws and the long-dormant

Over the last week, I've touched on the information economy and the attention economy, and those were to prime for the intention economy.

The information economy runs on data. But not just any data. It runs on our words, our clicks, our choices.
